humidity and dust baths?

[candy_doodle]

hello again...

i've been reading about how we should give a dust bath a few times a week...or more if you live in a very humid location (like once a day). but...that also, the ac...if working properly...it will help to reduce humidity...

my questions is...how humid does it have to be, to need to give them a dust bath everyday? and what lvl of humidity is acceptable to just give one...say every other day or three times a week?

thanks guys

You should be able to judge how often you give a dust bath just in looking at the fur. If it's developing a greasy look or staying parted when separated, that's a good indication that a dust bath is needed. Try giving a bath three times a week and see if that seems like it's enough. If not, increase it a bit until you find the right balance for your home.
